00:09Anxiety doesn't disappear with age, but it doesn't have to control your life either.
00:14As we grow older, life changes.
00:17Health concerns, retirement, and loss can make us uneasy.
00:21Understanding these feelings is the first step to peace.
00:25Anxiety in older adults often looks different.
00:27It can be restlessness, trouble sleeping, or excessive worrying.
00:32These feelings are common and not a sign of weakness.
00:36When anxiety comes, your breath is your anchor.
00:39Try this.
00:40Inhale deeply for four counts, hold for four, exhale slowly for six.
00:46Just three cycles can calm you.

00:57Don't hold it all in.
00:59Sharing your worries with a trusted friend or counselor lightens the load.
